Pope Francis has asked everyone to join him in consecrating all humanity, in particular Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and to ask Our Lady to intercede for peace in the world.
The Holy Father will pray the Act of Consecration at approximately 10:30am PT on Friday March 25th, and we are encouraged to join at that time, or to pray at another time during that day. Bishop Cotta and many of the priests of the diocese are on retreat this week, and will pray the consecration together.
